Manslaughter Defense Lawyer in Houston

Understanding Your Charges

Manslaughter, although a lesser charge than
murder, is a serious criminal offense that is a form of criminal homicide (causing
the death of another person without lawful excuse). Under the Texas penal
code, manslaughter is defined as recklessly causing the death of another.

For example, a person who is
driving while intoxicated, runs through a red light, and causes a fatal auto accident may face manslaughter
charges. Manslaughter is a second degree
felony offense in Texas, punishable by up to 20 years in state prison and a fine
of up to $10,000.
